Ontological Pluralism, Modes of Existence, and Actor-network Theory: Upgrading Latour with Latour

TL;DR: This paper turns to the work of social anthropologist Tim Ingold to advance a theoretical vocabulary of flowing lines of action and their correspondences and expound three modalities of correspondence, namely: timing, attentionality, and undergoing, which together explain the dynamics of creation, sensing, and actualization of (trans)formative possibilities for action along socio-technological flows.

TL;DR: In this paper, an argument for both the use and expansion of the philosophical anthropology of Bruno Latour, as established in his recent work An Inquiry into Modes of Existence (AIME), is made.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors highlight the impact of Latour's legacy, particularly in political and philosophical Anthropocene debates, and propose a new ontology of the Anthropocene that can begin by understanding Latour breakthroughs in the context of surpassing the metaphysical demarcation of subject/object by radicalizing pluralistic ontology.

TL;DR: In this article, the actor-network theory is used to reflect relevant issues of local interaction and involvement in the analysis of Tehran's urban environment, and a diagnosis of the current state of local interactions and involvement is given by transposing the situation in Bagh-Shater into elements that can demonstrate successive urban changes.

TL;DR: Reassembling the Social explores the misnomer of the word 'social' and its problematic use in social science. Latour argues that the word 'social' has become a word that designates two distinct things: a process of assembling and a type of material.

TL;DR: The authors presents laboratory science in a deliberately skeptical way: as an anthropological approach to the culture of the scientist, drawing on recent work in literary criticism, the authors study how the social world of the laboratory produces papers and other "texts,"' and how the scientific vision of reality becomes that set of statements considered, for the time being, too expensive to change.
